Local media report that 23-year-old Nicole Krystyn Chewning has been arrested and charged with abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult resulting in death.

The Rev. James Boyd Chewning died last year in Saluda County.

The State Law Enforcement Division said the 79-year-old man lived with 51-year-old Donald Ralph Chewning and 48-year-old Kathy Laine Chewning.

The couple also face the same charge in the retired minister’s death.

Another daughter, 26-year-old Amber Nicole Trent, was arrested earlier on the abuse charge.

A police statement said James Chewning was beaten, restrained in bed and rags and duct tape was used to cover his mouth and eyes.
